Anthony McGill vs Shaun Murphy Prediction

Kinda unexpected results in the semifinals but we have our finalists.McGill in his first final in 8 years, Murphy back after 2 years. One of them will be very happy tomorrow. The British Open is known as the 'FA Cup of Snooker', and we've got a premier final line-up with every player a multiple-time ranking event champion. These are two good snooker players, and with the level of performance they showed in their various rounds of matches, I expect solid play from them. Since both competitors have a chance of winning, we anticipate a very challenging competition. McGill has been able to create an upset in the semi finals rounds, However i believe Murphy`s historical head-to-head victory over him in the last three matches will play again in this encounter. Even the bookies support this analogy.
